—Singhania Mansion, Lawn—

"What are you saying Vishwa?" Vijay Pratap asked in a daze. The middle-aged multimillionaire and the mighty owner of the Multinational SINGHANIA FURNITURE AND DECOR said. 

"Isme galat kya hai huh!(What's wrong in this huh?) Your daughter Radhika and my son Ranbir are mature adults and love each other. Please agree Vijay. For the sake of our friendship." The elderly Vishwanath Khurana, the sole owner of ‘K BEAUTY AND FASHION’ reasoned.

"OK. But... You should ask your son Ranbir. If… he is willing-" Vijay Pratap asked hesitantly.

"He's my son. He would never say 'no' to me. And also imagine when this news will come out in the press, it will enhance the sales of our products so much and our business will be on cloud nine!" Vishvanath was ecstatic over the idea.

"Ha vo to hai. (Yes it is.) The idea of us becoming relatives would keep the press occupied for a week at least,

The owners of ‘Singhania Furniture and decor’ and ‘K beauty and fashion’ tie a knot."

"So should I take it as a yes?" Vishwa said forwarding his hand for a handshake.

"Vishwa Samdhi haath nhi milate, samdhi to gale milte h!(Vishwa in law's parent don't handshake, they embrace each other! )" He said and took Vishwa into a hug. 

"So my daughter will soon be Radhika Ranbir Singhania." He said smiling. "I know Ranbir loves her a lot. He would never hurt her. This is the best alliance for my princess."

Radhika's POV

Ugh! This Ranbir can't even hold himself for a few hours. I have told him so many times not to call me during the photoshoot but only if he ever listened. I don't want anybody here saying that Radhika Singhania is unprofessional and he just can't stop behaving like a love sick puppy. 

"Radhs, You can take a break now." The cameraman said.

Now I should take his class. I picked the phone and dialed his no. He picked up at the first ring, "Hey Radhs. Finally You decided to bless me with your time." He said in a sarcastic tone. 

I heaved a deep breath and asked, "Ranbir You know me right. How much my career matters to me, You know that too. Then why do you take it for granted huh? Why can't you behave maturely?"

"Oh man. Did You call me back to remind me that? I thought you were missing me too." He said slowly and I could sense the sadness in his voice. 

"Ranbir I-"

"Its OK Radhs. Just remember that I care for you. I love you and that's why I get possessive sometimes. Sorry for disturbing you. I won't call again."

Oh no! He's sad. I have to do something. 

"Ranbir!" I shouted into the phone. "I'm sorry love. I was just tired after the photoshoot and... Umm... How about going out tonight. Just you and me?" I said the last sentence too much seductively for him to resist. 

"Uh... OK."

"Great. So You pick me from the Mansion in the evening."

"Ya I will. Radhs..."

"Hm" I said. 

"I love you so much." He said sincerely. Even though I know it but still, hearing those words from him every time gives me so much happiness.

"I love you too Baby." I said and hung up. 

Ranbir and my relationship was never a strained one. We were always a happy couple. It's because he was the one who always loved me, pampered me and cared for me. Even though I made many mistakes, a sorry and a candle light dinner always worked. Whenever we had ego fights, He was the one to apologize first. Even though it would be my mistake most of the times. I won't admit this in front of him because of my big fat ego, but its true... I'm so lucky to have him. He understands my priorities, my love for my career and everything even though I don't say it. 

"Radhs?" A rough voice brought me back.

"Yes Maddy?" Maddy is my assistant who handles all the details like travel and legal formalities of the assignments I choose to shoot. 

"I have a big news for you Radhs." He said all exited. 

"Guess what. You won't believe..." He could hardly breathe because of controlling his happiness.
